Now, I know what you're thinking, "microwaving a potato, isn't that just going to make it all mushy and gross?" But trust me, it's a necessary evil. The microwave helps to break down the starches and get the potato cooked quicker, so it's not all bad!
After a few minutes in the microwave, you're going to want to check on your potato to see if it's cooked to your liking. If it's still a bit hard, don't worry, it'll finish cooking in the oven. And that's where things get really exciting!
So, you're going to transfer your partially cooked potato to the oven and let it finish cooking for about 15-20 minutes. This is where the potato starts to develop that beautiful, golden-brown crust that we all know and love. It's like a little piece of heaven in your mouth!
